In the heart of Chapel Hill, walking distance to UNC and Franklin Street, nestled on over a half acre of serene wooded bliss in the prestigious enclave of Westwood, sits one of a kind gem that is more than meets the eye. Inside, you'll find vaulted ceilings and skylights, giving a sense of expansiveness and light, which are a perfect compliment to the gorgeous ever-changing wooded views out of the rear windows and balconies. Another surprise is the beautiful modern kitchen and bathrooms, and 5 bedrooms including the lavish main-level primary retreat, with its vaulted ceiling, balcony, closet with built-in organizing system, and sumptuous spa-like bath with luxurious soaker tub, oversized shower with multiple shower heads, and skylight. The original charm of this 1950's home, with its hardwoods and heart pine, has been expanded and augmented by incorporating eco-friendly materials, like bamboo and cork flooring on the lower level. The versatile living spaces, including a second living area and office or game room on the lower level mean that this home effortlessly accommodates multiple generations or hosts of guests in unparalleled comfort. And outside, the possibilities are endless! Sip lemonade on the deck saying hello to the friendly neighbors, listen to the sound of the creek and birdsong from the balconies, plan your future harvest from the raised garden beds in the fenced yard, or stroll down to Franklin Street. This centrally located retreat offers a rare opportunity to embrace a lifestyle of relaxed luxury and central living convenience. Seize the chance to make this hidden gem your own.
